Unofficial copy. It may be out of date. Not legal or zoning advice. Zoning rules change, and only the city or county can say for sure what is allowed on a property. Confirm with the city or county planning department before you buy, sign or build.

The chapters the town posts pre-date revisions it approved in June 2023, September 2023 and February 2024, which aren't posted as clean text. Check those changes with the town.
Tables (like use tables) may not copy cleanly, so check any table against the official code.
Confirm anything here with Wallsburg planning before you rely on it.
A project shall be deemed inactive and subject to denial on the basis of inactivity if, through the act or omission of the applicant and not the Town:
1. More than three months has passed since the last meeting of Town Staff and the applicant.
2. More than three months has passed since a request for additional information was made by Town Staff which request has not been complied with or reasons for non-compliance are not stated or indicated by the applicant.
3. The applicant is more than sixty (60) days in default of the payment of any fee assessed by ordinance, or has not paid the fee under protest.
4. The applicant has stated intent to abandon the project.
5. The project appears to have been abandoned.

Delays caused entirely by internal delays of the Town or any Commission or Board shall not be cause for termination.
